Chen's words caused an uproar among the people present, and the onlookers expressed doubts.
"Misunderstanding? How can it be a misunderstanding when the rumor is so widespread?"
"Yes, there is no smoke without fire. Whether the young lady of the Ji family has an affair or not, who can tell for sure?"
"Without any evidence, how do you know if she's having an affair?"
"Mrs. Ji, words are not enough. You must provide evidence to prove that your daughter-in-law is not having an affair!"
"Who knows if your Ji family is playing tricks on us here just to protect your daughter-in-law's reputation?"
Hearing these words, Shen Ningyuan only felt a sense of irony.
Why would the Ji family come forward to clear the matter for her in order to protect her reputation?
If it weren't for the situation, they would have wanted her reputation to be rotten to the ground!
"Evidence?" The crowd of onlookers pressed for evidence. Chen stared blankly at Ji Zehai, "Master, do you want to continue?"
Before Ji Zehai could say anything, Shen Haoyue shouted from afar: "What happened in the Pepper Room must be explained clearly to clear my sister's name completely!"
After hearing this, everyone looked confused again.
"The Pepper Room is the Empress's bedroom, so what happened there must be true. The Empress can testify to it!"
"I'm getting more and more curious. What happened?"
"Yes, after all, it concerns the reputation of the Ji family's young lady, and I am also very curious!"
At this moment, Ji Yunchuan was also confused. He looked at Ji Zehai and Chen in surprise through the black veil of his felt hat.
Doesn’t he know what happened in the Pepper Palace?
Seeing Ji Zehai and Chen's hesitant expressions, Ji Yunchuan's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little uneasy.
He seemed to feel that what Chen was going to say next was not good for him.
Others who felt as uneasy as he did included Chen and Ji Zehai.
Both of them knew what it would mean to the Ji family if they revealed what happened in the Pepper Palace.
But now the arrow is on the string and must be shot.
If they don't tell it, Shen Ningyuan will not go back to the Ji family obediently, so how can they carry out the next plan?
Thinking of this, Ji Zehai hardened his heart and nodded at Chen.
You can't catch a wolf without risking your child.
No matter how difficult it is to say it, I must coax Shen Ningyuan back to the Ji family!
After receiving Ji Zehai's order, Chen gritted her teeth and said with shame, "In the Pepper Room, the Queen Mother arranged for the maid in charge of sexual affairs in the palace to personally verify the identity of her daughter-in-law, Chen Ningyuan. After the maid checked, she found..."
Chen paused, and finally said with a stiff upper lip: "I found out that my daughter-in-law, Chen Ningyuan, is still...still innocent!"
"What?"
Everyone's jaws dropped in shock.
"What? The young lady of the Ji family is still innocent!"
"So, they didn't enter the bridal chamber on their wedding night a year ago?"
"Oh my goodness, there's something so bizarre in the world... Not sleeping in the same room on your wedding night, what were you thinking?"
"Because of this incident, the young lady of the Ji family is about to become a widow, and she is still a virgin."
"I'm afraid Ji Yunchuan's coffin lid will no longer be able to hold him down. He's dead, and he didn't even touch his wife!"
"That's right. If this gets out, I wonder how many powerful and wealthy children will be thinking about his wife!"
"It's so funny! Ji Yunchuan, that cuckold, can't even rest in peace after his death. The key is that he is so reasonable. Even if he wants to remarry in the future, he has to marry out of the Ji family!"
“That’s right…”
These words reached Ji Yunchuan's ears clearly.
It was like a series of slaps hitting his face.
Chen Ningyuan actually told others that they didn't sleep together on their wedding night?
Didn't she promise herself that she would never tell anyone about this?
Chen Ningyuan, this is what you call loving me!
This is what you call being willing to give everything for me!
You bitch, when I complete my mission, I will make sure you die without a burial place!
The more Ji Yunchuan thought about it, the angrier he became. In an instant, his blood rushed to his head. He clenched his fists in his sleeves, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.
He is unwilling to accept this!
If he had known this would happen, he should have killed Shen Ningyuan on their wedding night a year ago!
In this way, he and the Ji family would not suffer such humiliation!
Shen Ningyuan, this bitch!
How come that cup of Hedinghong at the funeral didn’t make her intestines rot!
Listening to the discussions of the onlookers, Shen Haoyue suddenly felt a sense of evil interest.
With a single wave of his hand, he shouted, "Shen's army, listen to my orders!"
"Listen!"
The Shen family army shouted in unison, their momentum as strong as a rainbow.
Shen Haoyue shouted in a deep voice: "The whole army repeats, and restore the eldest lady's innocence!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zehai and Chen became anxious.
Ji Zehai looked at Shen Haoyue tremblingly and asked, "Nephew, are you going too far?"
Shen Haoyue's voice suddenly turned cold, and he said logically: "This is related to my sister's innocence, so naturally the whole capital must know about it, otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain?"
Chen was so anxious that she jumped up and down, "If the whole army repeats it again, and the matter gets out of hand, do you still want our Ji family to survive?"
Shen Haoyue ignored her and winked at the soldiers beside him.
The Shen family soldiers wearing armor took turns to speak.
"Everyone repeats, the young lady is innocent!"
"Everyone repeats, the young lady is innocent..."
The high-pitched voices of the soldiers grew farther and farther, and soon reached the end of the street.
The mocking gazes of the onlookers fell on Ji Zehai and Chen.
